Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

In this way, the convoy was divided into two groups. Zhang Yun returned to Fengtian, while Zhao Zhuo passed through Fengtian and led the team directly to the grassland.

Grassland is just a general term. To be precise, the grassland area near Fengtian is Saibei.

The entire Saibei area is very large. Although the population is less than one-fifth of Fengtian, the area is seven or eight times that of Fengtian. Most of the areas are pastures for grazing.

On the way, the driver of the motorcade curiously asked Zhao Zhuo:

"Mr. Zhao, why don't we take so many tea leaves and go directly to the depths of the grassland?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said:.

"That's definitely impossible. When we go to places deep in the grassland where real herdsmen graze, there may not even be roads. With your level, we're afraid we'll end up lying there sooner or later.

Besides, when we run a business, we can’t go looking for herdsmen across the mountains and plains one by one, right?”

Hearing this, the driver smiled sheepishly:

"What you said seems to make sense, but how can we sell tea as efficiently as possible? Where is our destination?"

Zhao Zhuo heard this and pointed to a red dot on the map:

"Here, Highland Castle."

The driver scratched his head:

"Hailanbao? This place doesn't look big. How many herdsmen can there be?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo wanted to slap the driver on the head:

"How did you learn geography? Hailanbao is the largest city in the northern part of the country. It is far from as small as you see on the map!

More importantly, Hailanbao serves as the transportation hub for the entire northern Saibei. Herders within a few hundred kilometers of the surrounding area will come here to conduct transactions, including buying and selling cattle and sheep, and purchasing daily necessities.

It can be said that this is the heart of the entire Saibei!"

After hearing this, the driver suddenly realized and understood the importance of Hailan Fort.

The driver smiled sheepishly:

"Hehehe, when I heard the name, I thought Hailanbao was just a small village."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo helplessly covered his forehead and shook his head:

"Drive your car and stop talking to me."

The driver's weak geographical knowledge really made Zhao Zhuo somewhat vulnerable.

After more than half a day's journey, the convoy finally arrived at Hailan Fort.

Although the name sounds simple, Highland Castle is actually not a small place.

When we were still dozens of kilometers away from Hailan Fort, we could vaguely see the outline of the city in the distance.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the magic of the city of Hailanbao.

Hailan Fort is located deep in a grassland, as if it were a city dropped from the sky. It just stands under the afterglow of the setting sun, which makes people feel a little fascinated.

Especially after having been driving on the endless grassland for a long time, everyone was very excited to suddenly see such a modern city.

As the saying goes, Wangshan is a dead horse. After vaguely seeing the outline of the city, and driving forward for more than half an hour, the team finally arrived at Hailan Fort.

After coming in, the driver looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but frowned and asked Zhao Zhuo:

"Mr. Zhao, why are there all kinds of cattle and sheep pens here? There are only a few scattered hotels and small restaurants...can this be called a city?"

It turned out that when we first entered Hailanbao, we could see various cattle and sheep trading scenes everywhere, but there were no other living facilities or traces of people's lives at all, which made everyone puzzled.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo explained:

"Because we are now in the outer city of Hailanbao."

Someone asked out of curiosity:

"Ah, what is the outer city and the inner city here?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"That's right, because the cattle and sheep trade often covers a very large area, and cattle and sheep peeing everywhere will also affect the image of the city.

Therefore, Hailanbao is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The outer city has built many places specially used for short-term grazing of cattle and sheep, which are mainly used for cattle and sheep grazing.

transaction.

If you want to buy daily necessities, including getting a haircut, going to the shops, etc., you have to go to the inner city."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

While talking, the convoy drove past the outer city where cattle and sheep were traded everywhere, and entered the inner city.

It was here that Helenburg's true appearance as a city was revealed to everyone.

On both sides of the spacious street, you can see all kinds of living facilities, especially if you can see a store just a few steps away, it makes people feel even a little prosperous.

Most of the people walking on the street were dressed like herdsmen, and they all looked very leisurely.

Only here can you see the full flavor of life.

Zhao Zhuo found a hotel with a garage, settled the team, and then took everyone to find a restaurant.

When the restaurant waiter saw such a group of big men entering the room, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Looking at it like this, so many people will definitely not be able to afford it at a low price.

Compared with a group of burly drivers, Zhao Zhuo seemed gentle and gentle.

In addition, Zhao Zhuo was surrounded by everyone, and the waiter could tell at a glance that Zhao Zhuo was the leader.

So, the waiter smiled and asked Zhao Zhuo:

"Hello, what can we have something to eat?"

Zhao Zhuo asked calmly:

"What's special about your place?"

The waiter came without even thinking:

"If you want to talk about the specialty, it must be our hand-grilled mutton.

If you pass by the outer city, you must have seen it. They are all fresh cattle and sheep. They are slaughtered and put into the pot directly. The taste is absolutely authentic!

Our hand-grilled mutton does not require any seasoning, just salt, and is dipped in a simple chive flower when eating. It tastes absolutely amazing!"

Judging from the enthusiasm with which the waiter talked, I'm afraid his mouth will be watering soon.

Zhao Zhuo nodded and raised his hand to interrupt the waiter's eloquent introduction.

"Okay, I'll just chop the mutton with my hands, two pounds."

"Okay."

After writing it down, the waiter looked at Zhao Zhuo again:

"Do you want anything else?"

Zhao Zhuo waved his hand and said:

"Since hand-grilled mutton is the specialty, let's eat the mutton first. We'll talk about what else we want later."

Hearing this, the waiter couldn't help but said with some embarrassment:

"Sir, the hand-grilled mutton here is considered to be on the bone."

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"I know, otherwise can we still call it grilled mutton?"

Seeing that Zhao Zhuo still didn't understand what he meant, the waiter could only say clearly:

"There are so many of us, but two pounds of hand-grilled mutton with bones may not be enough..."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo shook his head helplessly:

"Who said it's two pounds in total? Two pounds per person!"

After hearing this, the waiter finally understood what Zhao Zhuo meant by two pounds.

However, the waiter was embarrassed again:

"Can we eat this...two pounds per person?"

Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"Don't worry about whether you can eat it or not. Just serve us this amount."

Hearing this, the nosy waiter quickly shut up, nodded and placed his order.
